Grimerica Outlawed
We talk with Brad Lail of The Awakened Pod about his book-in-progress, plasma portals, and why he believes UFO disclosure is being framed through a controlled, materialist lens.

Grimerica Outlawed

info_outlineJeremy Ryan Slate on Rome, oligarchy, currency, and the breakdown of the West
Graham Dunlop and Darren Grimes sit down with Jeremy Ryan Slate for a wide-ranging conversation about civilizational collapse, using Rome as the main historical lens. Jeremy argues that the West is following a familiar pattern of monetary debasement, immigration strain, and declining political ethics, while Darren and Graham push the discussion toward technology, energy, election integrity, and whether there is any humane way to stabilize the system.
We discuss why the Roman pattern may be repeating across the US, Canada, the UK, and Europe, what actually causes collapse, and whether reform is still possible through currency, production, and energy.
Key topics
-
Jeremy lays out his “Roman pattern” framework with three main drivers of collapse: monetary debasement, immigration pressure, and the loss of ethics among political leaders.
-
The conversation turns to whether the West should be viewed as one collapsing bloc or as a set of countries moving at different speeds through the same decline.
-
Jeremy argues that modern democracy has already drifted into oligarchy, pointing to executive power, elite control of money, and the replacement of candidates as evidence.
-
The hosts compare modern politics to Rome’s client patron system, where voting and public policy often rewarded whoever could hand out the most benefits.
-
A major thread is the 1913 turning point in the US: the 17th Amendment, federal income tax, and the Federal Reserve Act.
-
The group also discusses the War Powers Act, executive war-making, and how crises are used to expand state power.
-
Jeremy says collapse is usually slow, not cinematic, and compares it to Rome’s long degradation rather than a sudden movie-style fall.
-
Darren and Graham explore whether universal high income, automation, or energy abundance could replace broken welfare and monetary systems.
-
Jeremy pushes back on the idea of unconditional handouts, arguing that any workable system still needs incentives, value creation, and consequences for bad behavior.
-
The most optimistic path, in Jeremy’s view, is a two-pronged fix: cut waste and rebuild industrial production.
-
They also dig into energy as the next big frontier, especially nuclear power, grid modernization, and the idea of backing currency through actual productive capacity.
-
The episode closes with Jeremy explaining his work on The Roman Pattern, Hidden Forces in History, and the Athenian Book Club.
